The Spit

Mouth of the river Wandle. Great for a sunny day morning run. If lucky you can see swans resting into the spit ! Also GPS thinks you are in the Thames so share your location to amaze friends!

Where the Wandle River and Bell Lane Creek merge to join Old Father Thames. Very peaceful.

A great place to watch birds on the Thames it's very quiet and relaxing there are swans herons and ducks here and you can watch boats go by on the Thames it's just a little of cut off the river

This spot lets you see Londons last open river The Wandle flowing into the Thames. There is not much else there but a visit checks of one very unique London sights.

You can do a great bike ride from the source of the Wandle to here which really is worth it as most of it is along this river.

The Spit/Causeway is a nature reserve at the mouth of the River Wandle. It is a small triangular site, only about 50 m long, and 20 m wide at its broadest. It was overgrown and inaccessible but a new footbridge over the river and recent renovation work has opened it up to the public.
It comprises retreated tidal terraces bisected by a wooden boardwalk. There are two small sparse areas of shrubs and an area of hard surfacing on which is sited a piece of public art, called Sail by Sophie Horton (2003).
Ecologically, three large white willow trees are the main focus of interest.

Inspiring views of the mouth of the Wandle in a restful, well-designed space.

Nice place very tranquil & lots of ducks & wildlife

Nice small place to sit, it's a bit of hidden

Worthy inclusion as part of Thames footpath

Great views of the birdlife in the Wandle mouth.

Peace and quiet, watch the birds and the river go by
